Chapter 48 : THERE ARE SHADOW PEOPLE, MOTHER! part 8

I could lie to you and tell you that after I woke from my fainting spell I thought rationally. That I was calm.

I wasn't.

For the first time in my very short life, I knew one thing for certain at that moment; I needed a drink.

And I'm not talking about water. Alcohol. Wine, vodka, tequila, rum, pick your poison, I just needed a very strong alcoholic beverage.

So I found one--or five, and I drank.

And then danced.

Drank some more.

Danced with Valerian. A strange but fun tango.

And drank even more. I can't even remember my name, I'm so drunk.

I come to find out I am a happy drunk. And a lucid drunk...if a lucid person had breathed in laughing gas.

I don't know where I am.

And I don't mean in the universe or whatever. That's a fact at this point. I'm in Benny-boo's realm. Another god to fuck over my life. But what I meant was that I'm not in the ballroom anymore. It appears to be a room.

I'm on a mattress, a canopy bed, maybe?

I'm still a little drunk, even after sleeping for a few hours.

My head is pounding and I think I'm going to barf.

...Ben is next to me. Shirtless.

Oh, goddess.

What the hell happened that I cannot remember?
